This week, Oi 'ave been mostly sanding.......... The Blue respray smelt like synthetic as it was coming off, so I carried on through it and the layer of primer/surfacer underneath. This got me to the original white which was showing micro blisters through to the original etch primer on the...

Lovely, least it's out of the way there rather than going round the box with the oil.....

I may have Started this thread in the Wrong place. If one of the Mods can move it into the projects group it would be better, my Fault for putting it in the wrong place to begin with. Bulkhead pondering continues......... As I Had only bought one seat refurb kit, I had also bought a Cubby box...

That's something I didn't know. I had the idea they were not interchangeable. To be honest I'm plucking up the courage to order a Bulkhead. This one could be repaired, but to do it properly will mean stripping it down to the point where it's not much more work to change it. Discuss.......

Pretty sure you are correct about the headrest. Project Hardtop is next, so the seats will go further back. Anybody got a Safari rear door????? That's the only outstanding bit I need

Finally Starting to catch up to Reality on here . I Don't like Chequerplate, just a personal choice thing, but there you go. The young Lad who sold it to me said `Please don't cover it in Chequerplate. It only had sill covers and the bit at the rear end, but the sills weren't straight and looked...

Well that was a bigger job than I thought. It's nearly back together again. To be Honest it went together fairly easy, it's just that I renewed a load of bits, Tub front, Brackets, Sill rails and brackets and the seat box ends. I have also rebuilt the folding steps, which now work as they...

The Part is from YRM pt no. 122 and comes as 2 halves, mine was thin and had a couple of small cracks, so I bonded the new parts to the original with Sikaflex 431. I had removed the seat belt brackets and used a piece of boxsection underneath, and about a half dozen G clamps till it was cured...

If the noise comes and goes with the clutch pedal (when stationary) 1st Motion shaft bearing/ layshaft bearings. The mainshaft is not rotating when stopped, so can't be making the noise. Gearbox overhaul time????

Having put the Ass back in the Landy, It was time to move forward, from the front of the rear tub to the Bulkhead. Several hours of Grinding, drilling and impact Driving left me with this It's a Fred Flintstone special. Good news is the Chassis is all fine, pity about the rest...... This...

Close. A Queron Dauphine Replica. The only one in the UK. Georges Queron Built about 30 cars in St. Etienne in the late 60's-Early 70's As car Modifying was not permitted for highway use in France (mind you they shut the public roads and compete on them every weekend) Queron Dauphines were...

Thanks for the comments, all of that makes complete sense. I bought this, as I can repair it and parts will be available for the foreseeable. A Transit would have perhaps been better, but they are rotten piles of trash you can't fix and wouldn't want to ... I won't be off road, apart from the...

After making jokes on another thread about how long a piece of string is. I have discovered that along with car painters, car welders seem to operate in their own timelines, not governed by the laws of Physics like the rest of us. I have been waiting a couple of weeks for the welder to fix the 2...

Lessons in Bedliner paint. Whilst waiting on the welder to have a slot to repair the top crossmember end for me, I decided to tidy up the pick up tub. I had decided to use bedliner paint. My local paint factor Does not do Raptor, but does do Roberlo's version Robliner, bonus is it can be tinted...

Erm, so where was I ...... OK I was Adjusting the wastegate to give a little more squeeze, and was edging up a bit at a time when at 14 psi it started to get noisy, you guessed it, we have found the limit of the original inter-cooler core, which was in poor condition. That was then time to fit...

Testing... To be Continued.........

Scabby wheels: I'm a shallow guy who likes shiny things I suppose These were contributing to the Stop this and throw the book at it Look . It's a pain to rub them down, but the weather isn't great and Neither is the Telly,so after an hour or so of rubbing, cursing, etching the bare bits and...

Steering Box bolts replaced and Tight. Also fitted new Door hinges and replaced all the trim clips that hold the trim on, as they tend to break on removal. £5 a set no big deal, also had to weld the door frame at the window channel due to fatigue, the Doors will need the bottom frame renewing...

It is more or less ready to use now, I have went through most of it and have sorted what needed sorting and will use and evaluate what happens next. Rear axle: oil changed, new calipers and pads. Will change out backplates for the MOT as they look bad Transfer box : oil changed. I await the...
